Roumier, Rapet, Stéphane Tissot
Domaine G. Roumier Clos de la Bussière 1er Cru Morey-Saint-Denis 2006 Sweet, oak framed nose. Changing constantly in the glass over a few hours. Palate a little more rustic than the nose with slightly bitter tannins and prickly acidity. This should come together with time. That said, this is more Chambolle than Morey in style and much more modern than previous years.
Rapet Père et Fils Pernand Vergelesses Île-de-Vergelesses 1990 Very youthful colour and nose. Atypical for 1990, soft resolved notes of undergrowth, dried cherry and spice on the nose. Palate beginning to come apart a little but still interesting.
Stéphane Tissot Savagnin 2004 A beautiful wine of the Jura with lifted apricot, dried lemon and almond aromas. Strong oxidative notes (intentional, the wines are made in the Sherry style). Palate is well balanced and long. After a few hours, the oxidative tone settled and the wine showed a lot of fruit sweetness. Gourmand.
